新华财经北京12月25日电泰国11月贸易逆差达27.3亿美元，显著高于市场预期的13.6亿美元，连续第二 个月录得高于预估的贸易赤字。这一数据凸显该国在全球需求疲软与本币升值双重压力下面临的出口竞 争力挑战。 分析指出，泰铢近期走强削弱了泰国出口商品在国际市场上的价格优势。鉴于出口占泰国国内生产总值 （GDP）比重超过50%，货币升值叠加外部需求不振，正对经济增长构成下行压力。 根据官方公布的数据，泰国11月出口同比增长7.1%，增速低于市场预期；同期进口同比增长17.6%，增 幅超出预期。进口增长显著快于出口，成为贸易逆差扩大的主因。此前，泰国10月已录得34亿美元的贸 易逆差，为2023年1月以来最大单月赤字。 （文章来源：新华财经） ...
